“[A] royal family of cats would answer every purpose. They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughably vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive, finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house.” – Mark Twain
Animal lovers who appreciate this cartoon owe it to themselves to see the just-released Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. You will not soon forget Rocket the raccoon and Lylla the otter. And you’ll have a newfound understanding of where animal experimentation can lead.

Reining cats and dogs would involve them pulling something, or someone pulling on them.

Thaves must be really confused when he visits an animal shelter and tries to decide between species.
